for me i'd just sit there and watch, i love Asian women, i was with a chinese women for 14 years, there's just something about them. but about your drummer, i called my old drummer up and asked him your question, because we had the same problem, he said, " dude its the bangin in my head' and i need a couple bones. we were together 13 years back in the DOOR'S , HENDRIX DAYS. IN FACT WE LOST HIM AT WOODSTOCK AND HE SHOWED UP 1 MONTH LATER, the man was crazy but could flip those stix.

I know you, your sister and your brother in Hong Kong. When I went there I stayed on the top of Mount Davis. From up there I saw the amazing view over Hong Kong. At night seeing all the lights was a magical like experience. I loved going on the old trams. I enjoyed seeing the stunning looking harbor. The shopping there is excellent. I imagine you will find a lovely laptop there.

Probably so you're sourgraping. Whats' good about hongkong? Its the feel, the aura, the many places to go to and shop. I love the cool climate there. Unlike the Philippines, Hongkong has winter. When we went there it was cold and we liked it.

yes that sounds like sour graping to me har har har. it is cool to tour to see different places, experience their culture, food plus DISNEY LAND. me and my wife went to hongkong before to work when we are just bf/gf. now i want to bring my son and wife there and i saw at the papers that cebu pacific flies to hingkong for 3,000+ php only. but the problem is my son doesnt have a passport yet. and the ticket buying was up to june 4 only. wow high tech laptop... sure that would be very expensive.

Hi, I have been to Hongkong twice,and it is definitely a great country to shopping,like shopping paradise. On my first trip, I joined a tour with my friend and we were there for 5 days,not bad...but we only have 1 day for our free leisure,the rest of the schedule was set by the tour agent.I did enjoy the hongkong food,so delicious especially the DIMSUM,although they are expensive,but the taste is definitely great and worthy to spend on it. I also tried the Dessert and Hongkong served a very best Mango dessert. I could not remember the dessert shop name,but it was always long queue and during my 5 nights in Hongkong, I was there every night to have my dessert. On my second trip, I was there with my boyfriend and we are free to walk anywhere we wanted as we did not join the tour. Since I have been there once, I slightly know some places to visit. We did searching for some information online for some tourists spots,the accomodation, food and transportation service. It was pretty convenience as the train service is travelled to every corner of Hongkong. I was there for about 8 days and I really have a great time. We did try the dimsum again and also the dessert.My boyfriend also love to eat. One thing I can say,the food in Hongkong is not cheap.and when you try to buy something from the Pasar Malam,try not to keep bargaining,or else the seller may get rude and scold you back.

Hongkong is good for shopping. But it is also good to visit just to see the sights if it is your very first time.

I like HongKong. The tourist spots are really good. Got a lot of places you can visit. And of course, Disneyland! You should try to visit it too. You won't regret it.
